I am really new at this so any assistance would be appreciated.

I followed the django tutorial by creating a project, creating a web app, using manual configuration, editing the wsgi file and uncommenting the code pertaining to django. I then reloaded the web app and visited my site's page at eldorado2768.pythonanywhere.com and it displayed an error. I checked the error log and there is a whole long list of stuff which I do not understand. I hope someone can help me with the errors:

You probably have a Django version mismatch. That is that the code you have is for a version of Django that is different to the version that you're actually running. If you want to use a specific version of Django, you may need to use a virtualenv. There are instructions on the help pages.
